Default Re: Titanic

you will always get conspiracies about big items like this.
I believe that the sister ships to the titanic was the HMHS Britannic and Olympic.
I personally don't believe that it was swapped over, the hitting of the ice berg would have had to be planned in order to claim insurance on the ship.

the design of the ship itself was poorly constructed not having the bulkhead going all the way to the deckhead.
in other words, the partitions in the ship where not air tight and there was no way to stop water from flooding one compartment to the next.
